At ABC Container Hire and Sales, we're proud to offer this versatile option to our customers in Gladstone and beyond.

First and foremost, the 40ft size is ideal for larger shipments. Whether you're moving goods across the country or across the ocean, this container can hold a significant amount of cargo.

This can be especially helpful if you have oversized or awkwardly shaped items that won't fit through the standard doors.

Another advantage of the 40ft Open Top General Purpose container is its durability. Made from high-quality steel, this container is built to withstand harsh weather conditions and rough handling. You can trust that your items will stay safe and secure during transport, no matter what obstacles they may encounter along the way.
